i can answer the first part: yes, we're doing this monthly. but as for the second part, you'll have to ask suzie!
we're kind of loosly strung, but we have a very good time!
so nice to have met dottie! and we had a good time critiquing everyone's work, lol, in the nicest sort of way, of course!

are you still doing this monthly if so what are the themes for the next couple of months? Are there pictures?

As nancia said we are monthly.

Each theme is brought out the first of the month.

The challenge is to work with some aspect of artsy quilts that will challenge you to push yourself to a new place. Then we love it when projects are shared. We can all learn from and be inspired by each other...........

This month the theme is to play with 'Gold'
Please join us and play with some new idea every month.

So, what's the advantage of wearing a spool of thread around your neck? You still have to cut and knot the thread you're using...meaning it doesn't work like a spindle on a sewing machine...so does it do anything besides keep you from 'misplacing' your thread spool between reloading your needle? Just curious.
